Collection: Masonic Pins

A Masonic lapel pin is far more than a simple accessory; it is a profound symbol of identity and a silent language among Brothers. These masonic lapel pin badges represent a member's journey through the degrees and their commitment to the fraternity's core values.

Whether it is a custom masonic lapel pin designed for a specific lodge or a standard masonic pin, it serves as a public testament to one's dedication to Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

The sacred numbers 3, 5, and 7 are central to the Fellowcraft degree and are frequently featured in the design of masonic pins. These digits represent the Winding Stairs to King Solomon’s Temple, making every masonic lapel pin a profound symbol of a Brother’s intellectual and spiritual progression.

• The Number 3:​ Refers to the three degrees of Masonry and the three principal officers of a Lodge—a foundational concept represented in many masonic pin​ designs.
• The Number 5:​ Represents the five orders of architecture and, more importantly, the five human senses through which we experience the world.
• The Number 7:​ Symbolizes the seven liberal arts and sciences (Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Music, and Astronomy), which a Brother is encouraged to study to perfect his craft.

When crafting a freemason pin​ for a Brother, these numbers serve as a profound reminder of the intellectual and spiritual journey encapsulated within the fraternity's traditions.

The value of masonic items is multifaceted, encompassing both their craftsmanship and their unique history. The answer depends heavily on the specific item and its provenance.

• Sentimental Value
  Modern masonic pins carry immense personal and sentimental value as a "Distinguished Lodge Honor" for the wearer and their lodge brothers. Our product range offers highly personal options, such as the intricate detail found in our Masonic Pins with Enamel.
• Historical & Collector Value
  Vintage masonic pins and antique masonic lapel pins are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance, rarity, and connection to Masonic heritage.
• Symbolic Value
  Specialized designs hold profound emotional weight. For instance, the classic aesthetics of a Masonic Pin with Wreath can symbolize achievement and honor within the craft. Other meaningful symbols, like the forget me not masonic pin (representing resilience during persecution) or the masonic widows pin (symbolizing care and support), are cherished within the fraternal family.

Ultimately, when you purchase new masonic pins to gift a new initiate, you are not just buying an accessory; you are investing in a future heirloom. Their true worth lies in the legacy they will carry within the fraternal family for years to come.

Proper etiquette for masonic pins and badges depends on the setting and the specific piece of regalia:

• Masonic Lapel Pins: Traditionally worn on the left lapel, closest to the heart.
• Masonic Tie Pin: Used to secure neckwear during formal Lodge meetings, blending elegance with utility.
• Masonic Collar Pins: Specifically worn by Officers to denote their station within the Lodge.
• Masonic Hat Pins: Often seen in casual settings, allowing Brothers to display their pride on headwear.
